The big wreck at about 13:40 proved to be a VERY expensive one for D.K. Ulrich, because when NASCAR inspected Ulrich's car after the race, the wreck wound up exposing a nitrous oxide bottle, resulting in him and his team being suspended the rest of the 1978 season.

Those are some real men racing there. They are what made NASCAR great.
Better believe it. Look at the names in this. Just legend after legend. ...nascar will never see this type of star power again .
